what does tomm stand for cleaning

I’ve been using this cleaning routine since March 2020, and it really is a game changer.

For those who are unfamiliar with the acronym, TOMM is a cleaning method, and it stands for: The Organised Mum Method.

Gemma Bray, the author of the method, has a blog, loads of videos on YouTube and a book where she explains the method.

  • making the beds
  • a spot clean of a part of each bathroom (for example, Monday – floors, Tuesday – surfaces, Wednesday – mirrors, etc)
